San Diego State vs New Mexico
San Diego State opened its homestand versus New Mexico at Peterson Gym on Sept. 30, displaying a new offensive setup and lineup. Despite keeping it close with the Lobos (12-2, 3-0 MWC), the Aztecs (4-11, 1-2 MWC) fell in four sets (25-20, 25-20, 16-25, 25-21) in a 3-1 game.
SDSU started the game with a 5-1 offensive system, which they had never run before.
“Our back row attack was not effective last night and that was to be expected,” head coach Brent Hilliard said. “That was the first time running that system all year and we just weren’t ready for it.
